 In WordPress 5.2 recovery mode was added. Recovery mode is entered when by
 clicking on a special link sent in an email. The email is sent to the
 `admin_email` which is stored as an option. However, the current manager /
 administrator may not have access to this email inbox.

 Users with the `activate_plugins` capability should be able to request a
 recovery link sent the user's register email via form, similar to the
 forgotten password form. This request recovery link form, should always be
 available (default recovery mode on this single page). The unique recovery
 link key, should likely be stored in user meta with the possibility to
 work with multisite setups in the future.
